Abstract
A Student´s test of Ho:¿ = ¿o against ¿ ¿ ¿o of the scale parameter ¿ of the Normal, logistic, and Cauchys distributions, when the location parameter ¿ is known is based on a few sample percentiles selected from a large sample. Tables facilitating the computation of the test statistic are provided. The significance level and power of the test statistic for sample sizes ¿ 200 are simulated by the Monte Carlo method and compared with the significance level and power when it is assumed to have its asymptotic distribution.
